To be honest, Gu Jiao felt that their method of handling the case was too hasty, and the evidence was incomplete, but it was probably related to the prince, so they would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
After Gu Jiao was arrested, she could not be convicted in the end. After all, she was a woman. Once she discovered this, she would be self-defeating.
But still, she can't expose herself, so she mustn't be taken back by these officials.
Gu Jiao said lightly, "I didn't go to assassinate the prince. I was with the people from Tianqiong Academy when the prince had an accident."
The headed official asked coldly, "Then who are you with?"
Gu Jiao's eyes fell on the master.
The master, whose surname is Hu, does not teach, but is only in charge of the academy's enrollment and general affairs.
Master Hu suddenly met Gu Jiao's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat!
That's right, Gu Jiao intends to let Master Hu be her witness, otherwise she will tell about Master Hu's visit to the brothel.
Master Hu is not stupid, how could he not guess Gu Jiao's little Jiujiu? He turned pale with fright.
Although visiting the brothel does not violate the laws of the State of Yan, but it violates the rules of the academy, don't want his reputation when it spreads!
This stinky boy better not do this! Otherwise he, otherwise he...
"He's with me."
A voice resembling a mountain and flowing water came from the corridor behind Gu Jiao, low and calm, with the unique youth and magnetism of this age.
It is Mu Qingchen.
Like the clear breeze and the bright moon, he walked towards this side without any haste, and stopped beside Gu Jiao.
When the officials saw him, their faces involuntarily became a little more polite.
The headed official said hello: "It turned out to be Young Master Qingchen."
The old bustard and Master Hu looked at Mu Qingchen as if they had seen a ghost, not understanding what his words meant.
Gu Jiao was also a little surprised.
It stands to reason that with their current relationship, stabbing each other and standing by is the normal operation of the two.
The leading official asked strangely, "Young Master Qingchen, you said he was with you last night?"
Mu Qingchen said, "That's right."
The leading official said again: "Is there any evidence?"
Mu Qingchen said calmly: "You are not just looking for a witness, this son is a witness, if you really don't believe it, you can ask the driver of this son, of course, if you think that this son is here on purpose. If you lie, then you don't have to believe this son's words."
The headed official frowned, and said in a slow tone, "That's not what we meant, please don't take offense to Young Master Qingchen."
Oh, this Young Master Qingchen seems to have a good reputation and reputation in Shengdu, and even the official in charge of the Prince's Palace case is so polite to him.
The leading official said again: "However, there is something unknown here."
Mu Qingchen said: "Please speak."
The headed official looked at Gu Jiao: "He is from the country, why did Young Master Qingchen bring him into the inner city privately? Young Master Qingchen is familiar with the laws of Yan State, and should understand that even Young Master Qingchen, you have no right to bring anyone into the inner city at will. inner city."
Even Mu Qingchen can't bring people into the city casually, so Master Hu must not be able to.
She had just planned to tell the official that it was Master Hu who brought him into the city, but fortunately she was interrupted by Mu Qingchen, otherwise she would have to be exposed on the spot.
Mu Qingchen said: "It's an emergency, I can't wait to run the inner city Fu Jie for him."
The headed officer's eyes flashed a trace of inquiry: "Oh? What can make Young Master Qingchen disregard the decree of Gu Shengdu and bring a lower countryman into the inner city?"
In the inner city, let alone a humble person from the country, even the native Yan people must abide by the rules for entering the city.
"Healing the Duke of the country."
As soon as Mu Qingchen said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
The headed official was even more stunned, unable to say a word for a long time.
Gu Jiao understood a little bit. The grandfather of the country should be a high-ranking person. If he treated his illness, he could make an exception.
This is not to say that any doctor is qualified to treat the grandfather of the country, and there must be someone of great importance to introduce the past, such as Mu Qingchen.
The leading official looked at Gu Jiao, and then at Mu Qingchen: "He?"
Mu Qingchen said without changing his expression: "Yes, he is the doctor I invited for the grandfather of the country."
The leading official had already figured out Xiao Liulang's details just now, and he said suspiciously: "He has only been in school for a day, so you know he is a doctor?"
Mu Qingchen put one hand behind him and said lightly, "Is it difficult for me, Mu Qingchen, to inquire about someone?"
The headed official choked again.
Of course... not difficult.
Mu Qingchen was the first of the three young masters of Shengdu, with a prominent family background and good looks.
"In one day, I want all the information on this person!"
Mu Qingchen only needed such a light sentence, and countless servants and dead men broke blood for him.
The headed official can take over the case of the Prince's Mansion. Naturally, he is not a generalist. He asked suspiciously: "But why did he go to the brothel again?"
Mu Qingchen said again without changing his face: "The price was not negotiated, so he left."
Gu Jiao: "..." How did you open your eyes and talk nonsense so calmly? It's a pity not to be a screenwriter and actor.
The headed official narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then what happened to your fish talisman?"
Mu Qingchen said, "I gave him the fish talisman and let him go out of the city. Who would have expected him to be so lustful that he actually went to the brothel."
Gu Jiao's mouth twitched, I thank you!
…
Because of Mu Qingchen's intervention, Gu Jiao had a perfect alibi, and the officials finally left.
Master Hu came over, gave Gu Jiao a complicated look, and said to Mu Qingchen, "No wonder Master Mu wants—"
Mu Qingchen swept over with a cold gaze, and Master Hu closed his mouth: "I still have something to do, I'll go first."
After Master Hu left, Gu Jiao asked Mu Qingchen strangely, "What did he say?"
"It's nothing." Mu Qingchen said expressionlessly.
Gu Jiao gave him a deep look: "Why do you want to help me?"
Mu Qingchen's eyes were cold: "If I don't help you, won't you confess me? Is it because you have a good reputation for robbing you, or is it because I took the initiative to give you a fish talisman?"
Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and muttered, "Yes, you guys have a good face." If the dignified son of Qingchen was robbed by a freshman who came from China, it would be too embarrassing to spread it out.
Mu Qingchen said indifferently, "What are you muttering about?"
Gu Jiao was in a good mood: "It's nothing, goodbye!"
She went to look for Gu Xiaoshun, and Mu Qingchen also planned to leave, but the two of them didn't take a few steps before the team officer turned back, and there was another man among them who had some status and identity at first glance.
This man actually came here on a horse.
He was in his early thirties, and he didn't wear armor, but he exuded an air of killing and decisiveness throughout his body.
He rode a war horse and blocked Gu Jiao and Mu Qingchen's way.
"Young Master Qingchen." He greeted with a sneer.
His attitude was much more arrogant than those of the officials.
Mu Qingchen's expression didn't change much, he was still Young Master Ruyue, with unparalleled elegance: "Master Shao."
Gu Jiao felt an inexplicable undercurrent, and it seemed that Master Shao and Mu Qingchen didn't have much to deal with.
The young man who was called Lord Shao sneered and said, "Young Master Qingchen said that this Zhao countryman is a doctor invited by Young Master Qingchen for the grandfather of the country. It's not that I don't trust Young Master Qingchen, it's just that it matters a lot, Young Master Qingchen. He is still young, and Shao is also worried that Young Master Qingchen will be used by someone with a heart."
Mu Qingchen's eyes were slightly cold: "What do you want, Master Shao?"
The young man smiled and said, "Isn't he going to treat the grandfather of the country? Then let him be cured."
Mu Qingchen said indifferently: "If it can't be cured, will Master Shao punish me and him for the crime of deceit?"
The young man smiled gently and said, "Young Master Qingchen is serious, how could Shao dare to be disrespectful to Young Master Qingchen? It is this man from the country who has the intention to deceive Young Master Qingchen. Everything is his own idea and has nothing to do with Young Master Qingchen."
Gu Jiao: Very good, the immortals fought, and she, a brat from Zhao Kingdom, suffered.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiao got into Mu Qingchen's carriage.
In fact, Gu Jiao can refuse, this shows that the surnamed Shao has old grudges with Mu Qingchen and wants to use the topic to play.
If she didn't go, Mu Qingchen would carry the pot alone.
But she has always had a clear grudge.
Mu Qingchen threw a recipe to Gu Jiao, and said in a low voice: "I know this by heart, you will go to the Guogong's mansion in a while, and you will come out just like you. Can you feel the pulse? It doesn't matter if you don't, remember to hold your wrist. Outside, near the radius, three fingers."
As he spoke, seeing that Gu Jiao didn't speak, he frowned, "You should know about the radius, right?"
"Well, I know." Gu Jiao nodded and continued to look at the recipe in her hand, bezoar, musk, pearl, cinnabar, realgar, berberine...
Mu Qingchen whispered again: "It doesn't matter if you can't cure it, it won't kill you, he just did this to make sure you are a real doctor, and then... humiliate me. That's it."
Gu Jiao hummed vaguely.
Mu Qingchen thought that Gu Jiao was reciting the recipe seriously and didn't bother her anymore.
The carriage arrived at the government office under the "escort" of young men and officials.
"Young Master Qingchen, it's here." The young man rode his horse over and said.
Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao: "Are you all familiar?"
"En." Gu Jiao returned the recipe to him.
Mu Qingchen and Gu Jiao got off the carriage.
The young men had never dismounted their horses when they entered the academy, but when they came to the Guogong Mansion, they immediately turned over and handed the horses over to the officials on the side.
He explained his origins to the doorman, who went into the mansion to report, and said to several people, "Young Master Qingchen, Master Shao, please come in."
Gu Jiao entered the imperial palace.
She became more and more confused.
Why does she feel so familiar with everything here
Soon, they were led by the servant to a secluded courtyard.
Gu Jiao blinked.
Wait, isn't this the yard she came to yesterday
"Young Master Qingchen! Lord Shao!"
Accompanied by a familiar female voice, a lady in purple clothes came over with the help of a maid.
Gu Jiao heard her voice.
Isn't that the lady from yesterday
Is she... revisiting the old place
"Second madam." Master Shao clasped his fists and saluted.
Young Master Qingchen also nodded slightly.
The second lady was a little surprised: "Why did the two of you come here together?"
The young man smiled and said grandly, "Young Master Qingchen has found a doctor from Zhao Kingdom for the Duke, and I specially escorted them to the mansion for treatment for the Duke."
The second lady opened her mouth: "Ah... That's how it is."
Obviously, the second lady didn't believe that he would be so kind to escort Mu Qingchen over here.
But no one will pierce the window paper on the face.
"Alas." The second lady sighed, "To be honest, just now, the disciple of Luo Shenyi came to treat the grandpa of the country, and he just gave the needle, and before he left, he went to prepare the medicine for the grandfather of the country. "
The young man asked, "But the disciple of Luo Feiyang, the first genius doctor of the Chen country?"
"Yes!" said the second lady.
The young man gave Mu Qingchen a meaningful look: "Chen Guo is famous for his medical skills, and Luoshenyi is the first among the hundred doctors."
Mu Qingchen ignored his provocation and asked the second lady, "Is the grandfather awake?"
The second lady shook her head.
Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao, "Go ahead and try it, you don't need to be under too much pressure."
The young man sneered: "Yes, after all, even the disciples of Luo Shenyi are helpless. How can a doctor who is not known in Zhao country be able to cure the grandfather of the country? Young master Qingchen was afraid from the very beginning."
Gu Jiao looked at him irritably: "So noisy, are you a bird?"
The young man choked: "You!"
Gu Jiao entered the house.
Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao's back, and seemed a little surprised by her reaction, but didn't say anything, and followed her into the room.
